Please Note: The handwriting in this census is almost unreadable, and the
spelling is bad. So, many
names are pure guesses on my part or, I know who the people were in
the 1850 census and have used
the same names (plus new ones). Please sound the names out, if you're
not sure what they might be.

Many times I feel the sex of the person is wrong but, I have typed what
the enumerator had or if he left
the space blank, so did I.

The state of birth is quite often, not given and then, only on the first
family, in the page. I would hope that, the rest of the people on the page
are born in the same. But, do NOT assume that it is so.

Where you see names in parenthesis in red, is where the maiden names
of the women are known, by me
personally or, what the name is supposed to be. (From research material)

Many times there is no ditto mark for the next person, under the head
of family. So, we do NOT know for
certain, if this is a person with the same last name or not.

I have placed tick marks (dashes) for each column that had nothing entered.
One last thing. Even though I am transcribing the pages consecutively,
as I read them, the census film
pages are not numbered consecutively nor are the towns or communities
consecutive.
It hops around from place to place. In fact, some pages
may be missing? I won't know until I'm finished.

The townships or post offices jump from Pittsboro, to Grove, to Riggsbees'
Store, without concern that
they are not in order or in the same neighborhood.
It is as if, the pages got dropped and then were copied/microfilmed,
out of order.

SO, I have assigned them, in order of sequence. These page
numbers are in RED and are also the numbers used in the indexing I did.
The other numbers are those that are on the microfilm page. Sometimes
there are 3 or 4 numbers.
One (or two) on the left hand upper part of the page and the others
on the upper right.
This will be confusing I suppose, but it will give you some orientation
if you need to look at the originals,
yourself.? And, PLEASE DO look at the originals before using any of
this as solid fact. This like every other thing you see online is just
a 'clue' to be used in your hunt for the truth.
GOOD LUCK ! and contact me if you have any questions (or information.)
